Husky's light oil refinery in Prince George, British Columbia, meets the refined products marketing needs of Husky and third-party retail outlets in the central and northern regions of the province. The plant was built in 1967 and Husky has operated it since 1976. Feedstock is delivered to the refinery by pipeline from northeastern British Columbia.
The refinery produces all grades of unleaded gasoline, seasonal diesel fuels, mixed propane and butane, and heavy fuel oil. It markets road asphalt, shipped by rail from Husky's Lloydminster, Alberta, asphalt refinery.
The refinery produces ultra-low sulphur gasoline and diesel fuel to meet the Government of Canada's fuel specifications.
Husky employs two types of desulphurization technologies at the refinery. For clean gasoline (low sulphur gasoline), the refinery uses Prime G+ hydrodesulphurization technology. For clean diesel (ultra low sulphur diesel), Husky increased the capacity of its existing unifiner and reformer units, and increased the hydrogen supply through installation of a new steam methane reformer (SMR).
